Abstract

The paper discusses the digital artwork series Impossible
Geographies, works that weave dynamic cartographies of
invisible, fragile and hybrid spaces. Impossible Geographies 01:
Memory invokes the memory space of a gallery, producing
cracks through which past events seep into the physical present.
Net_Dérive negotiates the space between a gallery and its urban
neighborhood, creating hybrid narratives along the grooves left
by participants equipped with mobile phones. The playground of
Impossible Geographies 02: Urban Fiction spreads across the
city and beyond, mixing and shifting multiple urban geographies
as participants sweep along the urban fabric with advanced
mobile phones. The conceptual and technological methods of
‘lens-making’ and ‘spacing,’ developed in these artworks,
explore the subjective, hybrid, and migrational nature of the
geographies we belonging to. By re-sculpting the fluid nature of
the urban fabric the works transform the everyday urbanscape
into impossible imaginary geographies.
